In modern power systems, AC generators are crucial power generation devices, and capacitors play an indispensable role in them.
When the AC generator is running, the output voltage and current are not stable and there will be certain fluctuations.
At this time, the capacitor is like a “voltage stabilizer”. When the voltage rises, the capacitor will absorb excess charge for storage to prevent excessive voltage rise; in the voltage reduction stage, it can release the stored charge, replenish electric energy, make the output voltage tend to be stable, ensure that the electrical equipment can work at a relatively stable voltage, extend the life of the equipment, and improve the operating efficiency.
Furthermore, from the perspective of power factor, when the AC generator drives the inductive load, the power factor is often low, resulting in energy waste.
After the capacitor is connected to the circuit, it can effectively improve the power factor by offsetting the reactive current generated by the inductive load, so that the power output of the generator can be fully utilized, the reactive loss can be reduced, the power generation cost can be reduced, and high-quality and high-efficiency power can be continuously delivered for industrial production and daily life.
In short, although the capacitor is small, it has become a powerful assistant for the efficient and stable operation of the AC generator with its unique performance.
